The princess has the skills to keep her face [clear wear]

In the past, Kangxi treated Concubine Yi Gui very well, and his treatment was second only to Empress Tong, and he treated her quite politely. Occasionally, he would talk to Concubine Yi Gui when he encountered troublesome things, and asked Xie Yuhua to help solve problems.

Only this time, facing Concubine Yi's sincere apology, Kangxi's attitude was rather indifferent—even if it was not Concubine Yi who made the mistake, but a cousin who was not close to her.

These days, a certain person's behavior not only represents her personally, but represents the entire family.

Concubine Yi's cousin is so arrogant and domineering outside the palace, and she always brings out Concubine Yi to talk about things. This makes Kangxi can't help wondering whether he has given too many gifts to Concubine Yi and Guo Luoluo's family, which caused the concubine outside the palace. What kind of illusion did the Luoluo family have.

At this time, Kangxi's cold treatment of Concubine Yi can also be said to be a statement of his attitude towards Guo Luoluo - he felt that he had too much faith in Guo Luoluo, and naturally he could withdraw this admiration at any time.

Concubine Yi Gui was good at observing words and expressions, so she naturally saw the information revealed by Kangxi.Facing Kangxi's silent beating and cold reception, she could only accept it with a wry smile, silently scolding her careless cousin over and over again.Even in the palace, as a noble concubine, she has to be trembling, strictly abides by the palace rules, and dare not take a step beyond the rules, but her cousin is lucky, she will drag her down if she doesn't say anything to help her outside the palace.

Although this cousin's Ama died young because of her Ama, and my family treats her preferentially on weekdays, but the preferential treatment to the point of bullying others is still too much.

Concubine Yi decided that, taking this opportunity, she had to communicate with her family, so that her Ama and Er Niang could restrain the people in the family, so that they would not get carried away by the fact that they had a favorite concubine at home, and do things that exceeded the rules. Things.Concubine Yi's son, Brother Jiu, has not yet grown up. Concubine Yi doesn't know if her son will be interested in that position, but she has to make more plans for her son after all.

Having a notorious natal family is of no benefit to my son.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, someone finally said to Concubine Yi: "Your Majesty, please go in. The Emperor has finished his work and is now waiting for you inside."

After hearing the words, Concubine Yi withdrew her thoughts.

In any case, the most important thing right now is to restore Kangxi's impression of her as soon as possible, but she has been unable to see Kangxi for a long time. She has never received such a cold reception...

As for Empress Tong, she had to hurry to apologize. I heard that her good cousin not only offended Kangxi that day, but also offended Empress Tong.Tsk, what are these things!Concubine Yi, who is used to applauding everything, is a little irritable.

Her good cousin was happy outside the palace for a while, and she didn't know how much energy she would need to expend to eliminate the negative influence brought about by her cousin.

……

In order to win the understanding of Kangxi and Empress Tong, Concubine Yigui spent countless efforts.

Yin Mo was not idle either.

Because of the job that suddenly fell on him, he has been busy lately.He really doesn't know much about farming, but he is a strict and rigid person by nature, and he will never allow his tasks to go wrong.

Therefore, whenever he has a chance recently, he runs to the Changchun Palace, staring at the gratifying hybrid rice in the Changchun Palace, as if he wants to spot a flower, and when he encounters Qionghua after class, he will come to ask Qionghua for advice on planting rice. What is the principle of hybrid rice, and what are the precautions... He took a small notebook and wrote it down neatly.

That good student's posture made Qionghua a little ashamed.

When the fourth elder brother devoted himself to his studies, Qionghua also keenly sensed the depression in his heart. After inquiring, he found out that it was the prince's good deed.

It turned out that when the prince was younger, he often went to Changchun Palace, and was deeply influenced by Qionghua, and he was very close to Qionghua and others.But since the crown prince entered the court, it was not Qionghua and the others who often got along with the crown prince, but the crown prince's uncle Suo'etu.

Qionghua discovered Suo'etu when he briefly met him a few years ago, and he has a lot of eyes.And he doesn't trust anyone else except himself, even if it's against an ally, he will always be on guard against an ally who will stab him in the back.Of course, for those families attached to the Hesheli family, Suo'etu can still show a certain degree of trust, but for families like the Tong family, which also have concubines and princes, Suo'etu's thoughts and practices are really hard to describe. .

Over the years, Suo'etu seems to have been showing favor to the Changchun Palace. Under the influence of the family, Concubine Ping is also constantly moving closer to Queen Tong. Outside the palace, the Tong family and the Hesheli family seem to have a lot of cooperation.But in fact, the Hesheli family has always had reservations about the Tong family.The Tong family noticed the attitude of the Hesheli family, which was both wooing and defensive, and was not very optimistic about the alliance with the Hesheli family.

To put it bluntly, if it wasn't for the reason, this was what Kangxi meant, who cares about Suo'etu!

The Hesheli family thinks that the Tong family is too powerful, and they have to beware of the Tong family and the fourth elder brother's betrayal. The Tong family thinks that I have already given face by agreeing to form an alliance with you and contribute to the prince.In the end, the big thing didn't work out, and when you could still use the Tong family, you always doubted the Tong family like this.If the prince ascends the throne in the future, will you have to cross the river and tear down the bridge?

One is the emperor's mother clan, and the other is the emperor's wife clan, both of which have their own arrogance.Due to the attitudes of both parties, the Hesheli family and the Tong family are in harmony with each other, and the alliance relationship is in jeopardy.

The fourth elder brother did not consider the relationship between the Hesheli family and the Tong family, he was simply chilled by the prince's attitude that day.

The brothers who were thought to be inseparable, after entering the court, actually began to suspect and plot against each other.

At this moment, the fourth elder brother was sincerely grateful that his little sister would never enter the court, and he would not go to such a point with his little sister.

Now that the prince no longer trusts himself as much as before, Yinzhen no longer cares so much about the prince's affairs. He entrusts more matters of assisting the prince to the prince's confidantes, while he concentrates on the research of hybrid rice planting method.

For Yinzhen, the prince is still an elder brother, someone he needs to respect and assist, but he will no longer give him his heart and soul like in the past.People's hearts are fleshy, and they can't stand being abused the most.

After a few more days, the prince also seemed to realize what he did wrong that day, and deliberately eased the embarrassing situation with the fourth elder brother, so he brought the things that the fourth elder brother liked, and personally apologized to the fourth elder brother.

It would be a pity to lose the opportunity to make a name for yourself with hybrid rice.But as long as the people in charge of this work are from the prince's family, the prince can always get some benefits, so it's not worth it to have a falling out with the fourth elder brother.

And now that the prince closes his eyes, he will think of the hurt expression on the fourth prince's face after he was reprimanded that day.For the younger brother, the fourth elder brother, the prince is not without feelings at all.

Various factors prompted the prince to come here today.

The crown prince even came to make an apology in person, so Yinzhen naturally wanted to give him face.On the surface, the prince's apology was very sincere, and Yinzhen also accepted his apology, and no longer worried about what the prince said that day, but only the two brothers knew that a rift had appeared between them .

……

Qionghua has been a little unhappy to see the prince recently, fearing that she will be sad after seeing him.

She is a relatively idealistic person, she would rather the memory of the prince and her stay in the best moments between the two of them, and she is not willing to pretend to be a stranger with her brother who was once intimate.

Although at the beginning, there was such an encounter between her and the eldest brother that went from being intimate to being a stranger, but the time that the eldest brother got along with her was short after all, even if the eldest brother voluntarily chose to cut off the brother-sister relationship between them. Qionghua was just sad for a while.

But the crown prince has been with her for several years...

Qionghua still remembers the clumsy look of the prince trying to please her; the clumsy look of the prince holding her everywhere;

Power is alluring, and there is a villain (Suo'etu) instigating by the side. The friendship between the few of them is no longer the original simplicity.

After the prince approached Qionghua several times but was politely rejected by Qionghua, he more or less guessed Qionghua's attitude.

In this regard, the prince felt a little regretful.Although the prince became wary of his younger brother as he grew up day by day, the prince still loves this little sister as always.However, compared to himself, the prince thinks that Qionghua should like Yinzhen more.

Even though Qionghua usually dislikes Yinzhen as an elder brother, when talking about Yinzhen, Qionghua's eyes are shining, as if there is light inside.

If it was in the past when Qionghua avoided the crown prince like this when he was a child, the crown prince knew that he had offended her, so he would have done a little bit to apologize to her and make her happy.

But this time, he didn't do it.

After all, they have grown up and have their own positions.

……

Three months later, Yinzhen was transferred to the south of the Yangtze River by an imperial edict from Kangxi, and began to try to promote hybrid rice.

This is not only Kangxi's emphasis on Yinzhen, but also a challenge Yinzhen is facing.

The land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River has always been the food bag of the whole country.If Yinzhen can successfully promote hybrid rice and increase grain production, he will have made great contributions. With this achievement, he can gain a lot of political capital.

If Yin Mo fails to promote hybrid rice...

It would be fine if it didn't affect the total local grain production, but if the local grain production is reduced because of him... then just ask for more blessings.

Qionghua also thought about why Kangxi would give this job to her fourth brother instead of the other brothers above him.

Kangxi entrusted this errand to the fourth elder brother. The obvious reason was that Qionghua and Yinzhen had a good relationship, and the hybrid rice was created by Qionghua. convenient.

Anyway, Qionghua didn't believe this reason.

Kangxi is usually a good father, but when it comes to the affairs of the previous dynasty, his thinking is completely in the imperial mode.Qionghua reckoned that Kangxi probably chose to entrust this errand to the fourth elder brother instead of the other elder brothers for political purposes.

The eldest brother has always been ambitious, and this task is of great significance. As long as Kangxi did not intend to make the eldest brother the crown prince, he would not entrust this task to the eldest brother; ...That's it, and he has the big elder brother and the prince, and the favored younger brothers, who happen to be in an extremely awkward middle position. Kangxi has never valued him very much, so this job will naturally not fall on his head.

From this point of view, the prince is the most suitable candidate, and if he succeeds, he will win the hearts of countless people.

However, in view of the fact that the power of the prince-son-party has grown like a snowball, and there is even a vague tendency to fight against Kangxi, it is very possible that Kangxi is unwilling to let the power of the prince continue to grow.

Assigning this task to the fourth elder brother avoids further expansion of the prince's power; secondly, to a certain extent, the fourth elder brother, the prince-son-party that Kangxi personally gave to the prince, weakens the prince to a certain extent The power of the party; thirdly, we can observe whether the prince can still obey the emperor’s arrangement as before when his wings are gradually growing hard—it’s a pity that the prince didn’t see Kangxi’s intention, but the fourth elder brother noticed it. I tried to remind him, but he couldn't listen at all. I don't know what Kangxi will think in his eyes, but it will not be too pleasant.The last point is the reason Kangxi put on the face, that Yinzhen and Qionghua are both Queen Tong's children, so they can get Qionghua's unreserved guidance.

Qionghua had to admit that after removing her filter on Kangxi, Kangxi was still quite scary to some extent, especially his control over people's hearts exceeded most people's expectations.

The prince is in the middle of the game, and only sees Yinzhen's threat to him, but not Kangxi's role in this game. In any case, these are not Qionghua's worries. The only thing she needs to worry about right now is her upcoming The fourth brother who travels far.

Because this was Yinzhen's first time traveling far away, and he was sent out on a errand not long after he entered the court, Empress Tong and Qionghua were worried about Yinzhen, so they started packing his bags a few days in advance.

Therefore, in the Changchun Palace these days, you can always see such a scene

"This mosquito repellent is good, bring it to Yinzhen." It was Queen Tong's voice.

"There is also the autumn fir and cloak that I made for the fourth brother this year, and I also bring it to the fourth brother, so that he will not be prepared and catch a cold when the season changes..." Qionghua also joined in the fun.

"There are also some commonly used medicines that have to be carried on the back. If you go to the south of the Yangtze River and experience symptoms of acclimatization, you can't be careless. It's a pity that Yinzhen has official duties on this trip, so it's better not to be too public, otherwise, my palace I really want to send an imperial doctor to follow him." Queen Tong said worriedly.

"Yes, although there must be doctors in the local area, they are not as skilled as the imperial physicians, and I don't know if there are as many medicinal materials outside the palace as in the palace. It is better to prescribe a few more medicines and prepare them for the fourth brother." Qionghua nodded in agreement: " By the way, I just dug out some agricultural books, maybe the fourth brother can use them, so let the fourth brother take them with me."

Seeing more and more bags piled up, Yinzhen couldn't help dripping a few drops of sweat from his head.

Although Er Niang and his sister's kindness moved him very much, did they still remember that he didn't go out for an outing, but went out to work?Going out to do business is not easy, but instead carries a carload of things, how does this make others think of him?

Yinzhen wanted to go to Kangxi for help, and asked Kangxi to come forward to make his mother and sister calm down a little bit, but unfortunately, he ignored his father's pampering and his sister's pessimism.Originally, when his father received his request, he did agree well, but after his father went to Changchun Palace to have a meal with Queen Tong and Qionghua, he "rebelled" soon.

Kangxi told Yinzhen: "The queen and Jiaojiao's considerations are not unreasonable. You are away from home, which already makes them worry. If you haven't prepared all the things, won't it make them worry even more?"

Kangxi patted Yinzhen on the shoulder: "For the sake of your mother and younger sister, you should take it with you. Besides, the queen and Jiaojiao are very discerning, and what they bring to you is not useless. Maybe when you can be used."

Well, as we talked, we started talking about Empress Tong and Qionghua again. It must be Qionghua's "credit"!

Yinzhen found that it was definitely a wrong decision for him to seek help from Kangxi, a person who had no principles in front of Qionghua.

But he is still trying to make the last struggle: "Ama, Er Niang and my sister have prepared a lot of things for me, at least three big trucks, if I blatantly take them all the way to the place where I am on business, it will not look good... ..."

Especially according to the nature of Yinzhen's work, he had to have personal contact with the peasant brothers.I don't know if other people can get enough food and clothing, but he is fine, acting like a kid from a rich family, isn't it just disgusting?

Kangxi obviously understood Yinzhen's scruples, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You first bring some things close to your body, I will go and talk to the queen, and the rest of the things will be sent to you in batches. It's not as glaring anymore."

After all, Yinzhen should still carry those things, but the form has changed slightly.

Yinzhen had no choice but to nod his head. If he had to bring it, the way Kangxi said made him more acceptable.

……

Yinzhen is responsible for the promotion of hybrid rice this time, and it can't be done in a day or two.

Qionghua and Queen Tong sent him away in a golden autumn, and in the blink of an eye, three years passed.

For three whole years, Yinzhen did not return to the capital, but occasionally sent letters back to the capital, most of which were for Kangxi's duty report, and only a small part were family letters for Empress Tong and Qionghua, which made Qionghua and Tong The Queen missed him terribly.After all, their family has never been separated for so long.

In three years, Qionghua grew from a slightly chubby little bun to a little girl, with an elongated figure and more refined facial features.The way she stood there quietly is still very capable of bluffing people. Only the way her eyeballs are moving smartly makes people know that she is still that eccentric little princess. There is no change in this.

Today, Qionghua looked at the thin letter from Yinzhen, and couldn't help complaining to Queen Tong: "Emiang, fourth brother is really, I wrote him such a thick letter before, but he It’s too perfunctory to reply me with only a few lines! Later you have to write a letter, so I can reprimand him!”

Upon hearing this, Queen Tong nodded Qionghua's forehead.

"Your fourth brother is busy outside, don't make trouble for your fourth brother."

Obviously the strength in her hand was not strong, after Qionghua was poked on the forehead, she still rubbed her forehead as usual, as if it hurt.

Facing Qionghua's accusing eyes, Empress Tong's eyebrows crooked with a smile: "Of course, it's not that I don't want to settle this account with him, but I just save it and settle it together when he returns to Beijing. Now, he's not here with us." , better treat him."

Empress Tong has never said this before.When mentioning Yinzhen, there was only worry in her eyes, how could it be full of smiles like now?

There is a situation!

Qionghua couldn't care less about covering her forehead anymore, she looked at her mother Erniang curiously: "What information did Erniang get—is fourth brother coming back?"

Empress Tong looked at her daughter, but smiled silently.

Qionghua immediately took a step forward without restraint, and shook her mother's arm, her voice was as sweet as honey: "My mother, tell me, did you get it from Khan Ama?" What news? You know, I care about the fourth brother the most, if you have news about him, don't hide it from me!"

At the same time, Qionghua also made up her mind.

If Kangxi dared to tell Empress Tong about the news about the fourth elder brother, she would only keep it from her... Humph, she would definitely ignore Kangxi for a week.

Empress Tong saw that Qionghua was holding her arm, her starry eyes were open, and she acted like a baby with her softly, she couldn't stand it.Wanting to make a fool of herself, she cleared her throat and said, "Your fourth brother is going back to Beijing."

Qionghua was stunned for a moment, and then, a big smile broke out on her face: "Is this true? It's really great!"

After getting the news, Qionghua began to think about how to cleanse her brother up.

After three years, her brother must have grown taller, right?I've been running around all day, and I don't know if I have eaten well or if I've lost weight.Oh, by the way, and ah, could her brother have been sunburned into a piece of black charcoal?Really curious.

Qionghua, who was thinking like this, said these words without paying attention, and Kangxi happened to hear them. Kangxi couldn't help laughing and said: "I really should let Yinzhen listen to how you, a younger sister, arrange him. !"

"Ama Khan, what are you talking about! Fourth Brother is going to come back, and you only tell Erniang and not me, I'm angry!"

Qionghua has not forgotten the flag she set earlier.As soon as she saw Kangxi, she pouted her mouth, as if she was not going to pay attention to Kangxi.

She is the only one who dares to treat Kangxi like this, and she is not afraid of causing Kangxi's dissatisfaction.

Over the years, as the elder brothers stepped into the court one by one, Princesses also grew up one by one. Many elder brothers and princesses became more cautious when facing Kangxi.When they were young, they might not have dared to act like a baby to Kangxi unscrupulously, and it was even more impossible when they grew up.

Only Qionghua dared to "be proud of her favor" from time to time, and show some petty temper at Kangxi.However, Kangxi still likes her. Every time she has a little emotion, she starts to coax her, so she doesn't feel offended at all.

Of course, Qionghua's emotions are emotions, and she still has a sense of proportion.She clearly knew where Kangxi's bottom line was, and would not go too far and backfire.Occasionally being willful with Kangxi is a good way to narrow the distance between the two parties, but if it is too much, it will be annoying.

At this time, when Kangxi saw Qionghua's back turned to him, he couldn't help but feel pity in his heart.

He gave Empress Tong a look of "I've been hurt by you", and wanted to touch Qionghua's head, but Qionghua avoided it cleverly.

He also looked like "if you don't coax me to calm down, I will ignore you".

Kangxi really had nothing to do, so he had to coax softly: "It's my fault, I just wanted to tell the queen about it, and the queen will definitely tell Jiaojiao as soon as possible. I didn't expect that the queen would talk to Jiaojiao." Playing tricks and making us Jiaojiao angry..."

Just after saying this, Kangxi got a slap from Queen Tong.

Why did it involve her again!Obviously it was Kangxi's own fault, but Kangxi actually wanted to bring trouble to the east!
